Texas prepares for Ike; Cuba copes
Denise Dreitner secures storm shutters to her Bacliff, Texas, home Thursday afternoon in preparation for Hurricane Ike. Dreitner, who spent 23 hours in the car evacuating before Hurricane Rita in 2005, plans to ride out Ike at home. "I did that last time with Rita, 23 hours, I ain't doing that again," she said.
